Comprehensive film and television: The cool life of the female supporting role after the cross-dress

Seeing Zhen Huan's face showing shame and anger, Hongli was still not ready to give up: "I just don't know how the Empress Dowager will deal with herself after I die?"

Zhen Huan didn't want to listen to Hongli's nonsense anymore, so she interrupted him and said, "Emperor, I am not here to listen to you talk about the past, but to discuss Hengti's marriage."

Hongli: "Hengti's wedding must be done well, the more grand the better. Let's set the wedding date for half a year. After all, Hengti is not young anymore."

Although Zhen Huan was not satisfied and thought that the wedding date could be later, she did not bother to argue further as she thought of the more important purpose of this trip. "Emperor, now the power of the Queen and the eldest prince is growing stronger, and there is the Fucha family behind them. How are you going to deal with it?"

Hongli was very surprised to hear what Zhen Huan said. Could it be that his adopted mother was senile and confused? Even with her current poor health, she was still on guard against her own son. Was she planning to give the throne that she had snatched with great difficulty to Zhen Huan's son?

But then he thought, Zhen Huan's biological son had died long ago, and the bowl of poison porridge prepared in Jingren Palace was fed to him personally by the Queen, who was the wife of Prince Bao at the time. He was so happy that he couldn't sleep all night.

Queen? Is she really unaware?

Hongli was startled, but he forced himself to calm down and suppress his suspicion of the Queen. The Queen had no grudge against Zhen Huan at that time, and it was impossible for her to predict how Jingren Palace would take action.

"Emperor!" Zhen Huan was even more dissatisfied when she saw Hongli's absent-mindedness. Hongli really didn't take her seriously anymore. "I know Yonglian is your eldest son and you like him very much, but you have to be careful about the interference of foreign relatives in politics."

"So this is what the Empress Dowager was planning. If the Empress and I become estranged, or even if the Empress is eliminated, then you, Yonglian's Imperial Madam, will be able to take control of the palace again. That's when I'll have to worry about external relatives interfering in politics!" Hongli's tone was extremely sarcastic.

Zhen Huan was touched by her thoughts, and was worried that the Queen really had evidence of what happened that year, so she was particularly anxious, "That's not what I meant!"

Hongli didn't even look at Zhen Huan, "What does the Empress Dowager mean? Yonglian is my eldest son. The Fucha family is loyal to me and the Qing Dynasty. The Empress never asks about the affairs of the court. Why should I be on guard against them?"

Zhen Huan was speechless. She didn't understand why Hongli's attitude changed so quickly. Could it be that after a serious illness he had seen through life and death and no longer cared about power? This was a lie.

Hongli certainly did not disregard power. On the contrary, he cared too much about power. He would rather give it all to his son than give even a penny to outsiders.

The Queen's words that day made Hongli angry and a little enlightened. He always felt that the Queen Mother's hands were too long, and she always pointed fingers at him in both the harem and the court. This made him very annoyed and even more fearful, and this invisibly gave him the illusion that the Queen Mother had great power.

In terms of power in the previous dynasty, who in his harem could compare to Empress Fucha? However, the Empress was low-key and Fucha always supported him, so he did not feel afraid.

"Does Empress Dowager have anything else to say besides these? If not, please let Ruyi come in to take care of me and let me rest." Hongli looked at Zhen Huan as if she were a clown and ordered her to leave. He really didn't want to pretend to be a loving mother and a filial son in his remaining short life.

The mother and son parted unhappily.

Under Ruyi's careful and thoughtful service, Hongli lay down again and closed his eyes to take a nap. He thought of the evidence sent by the Queen that Bai Ruiji was actually the Queen Mother's person, and her purpose was to disrupt the harem so that the Queen Mother could seize the palace power for personal gain.

He had just ascended the throne at that time, but the Queen Mother was so impatient. If the Queen had not handled it properly, his harem would have become the Queen Mother's world.

Hongli even suspected that Wei Yanwan was also a hidden pawn sent by the empress dowager, who used the Five-Stone Powder to poison his dragon body and then used his suspicion of the adult prince to attack the empress and Yonglian, so that after his death, the empress dowager could become the powerful grand empress dowager again.

Isn't that what she did back then? She used elixirs to murder the late emperor. She is so evil!

The more Hongli thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. His hatred towards Zhen Huan reached its peak, but when he thought of Zhen Huan's restless look just now, he felt relieved.

The best plan now is to establish Yonglian's status as soon as possible and make him the legitimate crown prince. When Yonglian is able to take charge of things on his own, he can also give up power earlier so that he can recuperate and live a few more years.

As for Zhen Huan, she wanted to seize the power of the Queen and kill Concubine Hui. Hongli believed that the Queen and Concubine Hui would not let Zhen Huan go. Let them grind for a while, so that they have no time to get involved in the court.

And Ruyi has also been troubled by the Empress Dowager a lot, but Ruyi is kind-hearted and her heart is all on him. At this time, Ruyi will definitely not be distracted by Zhen Huan.

"Alas, Ruyi." Hongli sighed, opened his eyes, and held Ruyi's hand. "I hope to be with you forever. I want to make you the queen, and we will sleep together in life and be buried together in death. Are you willing?"

Ruyi was shocked and delighted, but soon realized that this was impossible. "But the Empress is still alive, and there is nothing wrong with that. There can't be two Empresses."

Hongli knew that he would never do such a ridiculous thing that would be condemned by the world. What he said was that they would die together. As long as Ruyi lived and died with him and was buried with him, he would naturally leave a decree to posthumously confer her the title of empress.

"I was impulsive." He didn't say it after all.

After returning to the palace, Hongli's illness was barely stabilized, and he could attend court and handle government affairs normally. Jiang Yubin developed a decoction to stop taking Wu Shi San, but his damaged body could not be restored after all.

Hongli issued two imperial edicts without stopping, one to appoint Yonglian as the crown prince, and the other to appoint Ruyi as the imperial concubine, catching everyone off guard.

Even the calm Ruyixiu was so angry that she smashed a whole set of teacups, and she only smashed the expensive ones. She was lucky enough to experience the title of Imperial Noble Consort twice while the Empress was still alive! Ruyi was not going to die soon!

Su Ran saw Yi Xiu picking up an antique vase and about to smash it, so she hurried forward to stop him and comforted him, "Your Majesty, the emperor is seriously ill, so he naturally cares more about the little affection we had when we were young. He doesn't mean to slap your face."

"But by doing this, she is already slapping me in the face!"

Su Ran put the antique vase back and continued, "But the emperor did not grant the imperial concubine the power of the palace, and the imperial concubine has no children. Our Yonglian has become the crown prince, which is the most gratifying thing."

Yixiu didn't think so. Given Hongli's current physical condition, he would not live to see Yongsheng reach adulthood, so the position of crown prince was already in her pocket.

The favored concubine of the emperor was indeed very annoying. Yixiu gritted her teeth and said, "Based on the emperor's love for the imperial concubine, she will soon have a child. Didn't the one in the cold palace give birth to one? How is the cold palace being handled?"
